Equal parts cringeworthy relationships, bad life choices and personal issues, interspersed with nuzzling, passionate/violent kissing and shower sex.
Had fun reading it but wanted to roll my eyes the whole time. Now I’ve finished the book I feel like eating pancakes. 2,5-3,5 stars depending on my daily level of lit snobbishness. ( )

Terribly written but, couldn't put it down. ( )
  kbountress | Jan 23, 2024 |
Well there was so much fuss about this book that I felt positively out of the conversations by not having read it. And the truth is, I still haven't read it. Yes, I've skimmed it...looking for the salacious parts but found it all a bit boring. So now that i have to downsize my library, this is one of those that's going off to the charity sale. There is no chance that I'll ever get around to reading it in full. Life is too short and I've got loads of better books yet to read. One star from me. ( )

“Fifty Shades of Grey” is being released in time for Valentine’s Day. That’s a bold move, since the film is not just unromantic but specifically anti-romantic; take your valentine along, by all means, but, be warned, it’ll be like watching “Rosemary’s Baby” at Christmas

Book description
When literature student Anastasia Steele is drafted to interview the successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for her campus magazine, she finds him attractive, enigmatic and intimidating. Convinced their meeting went badly, she tries to put Grey out of her mind - until he happens to turn up at the out-of-town hardware store where she works part-time.

The unworldly, innocent Ana is shocked to realize she wants this man, and when he warns her to keep her distance it only makes her more desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her too - but on his own terms.



Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success – his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving adoptive family – Grey is man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a passionate, physical and daring affair, Ana learns more about her own dark desires, as well as the Christian Grey hidden away from public scrutiny.


Can their relationship transcend physical passion? Will Ana find it in herself to submit to the self-indulgent Master? And if she does, will she still love what she finds?
